SANCTUM
The VOLANTE having successfully passed
through the different stages in the evolution of
a college paper, presents, for kindly
consideration its first issue.
Though published in a university, the
Volante is not intended as an outlet for
surplus erudition. Nor is it intended, as the
representative of any society organization
or faction. Its purpose is higher than
either of these, its mission more important.
It goes forth as the representative of all the
students of the University. As such, it will
voice their desires, champion their interests,
and earnestly endeavor to advance all
movements that can in any way conduce to their
welfare. This course is incumbent, on the paper
from the very nature of its origin. The Volante
is the result of a practically unanimous
movement, on the part of the students, to secure a
college paper. Being thus, in a peculiar sense,
a paper by the students, the management shall
attempt to make it, pre-eminently, a paper for
the students. In doing this we will, of course,
constantly strive to advance the interests of our
University, for upon its prosperity depends our
welfare, both individually, and collectively, as
students.
The management, realizing that the paper
will be measured, by what it accomplishes, not
by what it professes, will strive to so shape its
policy and choose its contents, that it may
receive alike, the approbation of the fair-minded
and the opposition of the fastidious. Our chief
aim being, always to present a paper in
complete harmony with our motto — "a paper by
the students and for the students."
To the college press of the country the
Volante makes its bow with all the awkward-
ness of a first appearance, no doubt, but with
the youthful hope, as well, of long and
increasing usefulness. Modestly it takes its place
in your ranks, determined to contribute its mite,
freely, to the common weal. With you it will
advocate the cause of higher education and
assist in the promotion of all movements that
tend to the well being of students as a whole.
May your shadow grow no less for its coming.
Trusting that, while there may be much to
criticise, there may be more to approve, we are open
for perusal Vol. I. No. I. of the Volante.
--------------------
The University of Dakota is exceedingly
fortunate in having both a competent board of
instruction and a competent board of direction
working for its welfare. Its faculty is
composed of instructors thoroughly qualified for
their respective positions. They possess
moreover, that which is so important in a new
institution, the enthusiasm and progressive ideas
